NASB
""Therefore, I command you, saying, 'You shall set aside three cities for yourself.'"
— Deuteronomy 19:7, NASB
“Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.”
“Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt set apart three cities for thee. ”
“Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for yourselves.”
“Therefore, I am commanding you to set apart for yourselves three cities.”
“Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another.”
“And so I am ordering you to see that three towns are marked out for this purpose.”
“Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.”
"Now this is the case of the manslayer who may flee there and live: when he kills his friend unintentionally, not hating him previously--
as when a man goes into the forest with his friend to cut wood, and his hand swings the axe to cut down the tree, and the iron head slips off the handle and strikes his friend so that he dies--he may flee to one of these cities and live;
otherwise the avenger of blood might pursue the manslayer in the heat of his anger, and overtake him, because the way is long, and take his life, though he was not deserving of death, since he had not hated him previously.
"Therefore, I command you, saying, 'You shall set aside three cities for yourself.'
"If the LORD your God enlarges your territory, just as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which He promised to give your fathers--
if you carefully observe all this commandment which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in His ways always--then you shall add three more cities for yourself, besides these three.
"So innocent blood will not be shed in the midst of your land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance, and bloodguiltiness be on you.
